June Bugs:
@HelloSweetie1 6/21/2013 ~ I’m so sorry for the BFN and that AF showed
((hugs)). How are you feeling about talking to an RE? Have you found any
clinics that you are interested in?
@rmpar29 6/26/13 ~ How did everything go on Saturday? Hopefully the pain wasn’t too bad. Did your doc give you any insight into whether you’re ovulating? Are you going to go ahead with the Femera?
@uneek13236/29/13 ~ As usual, hey lady. Hope you’re doing well this week. Anything new?
@Ashris13 6/1/14 ~ How’s the 2WW going? When is your beta? FX for you!
@peggels24 6/4/2014 ~ I’m sorry your DH is a bit overhelmed with TTC. It can really take a toll. Have you been able to BD EOD the way you hoped? Any signs that you’ve O’d? FX for great timing!
@MrsG80inTN 6/7/2014 ~ I’m so sorry to see that AF showed but it looks like your LP was a little longer. That’s a good sign! How are you doing ((hugs))? What’s the plan for this cycle?
@Waliany2015 6/8/2014 ~ I’m so sorry AF showed and you were in so much pain ((hugs)). What’s the plan- will you try again this cycle or break until the wedding? And congrats on sending out the STDs! And I love that you’re shopping at Brides for Breasts Cancer, that’s amazing. When you find a dress, please send us a pic!
@lily9911 6/9/2014 ~ We missed you last week. Welcome to the check-in, I’m so sorry for your loss. How are you doing this week? When do(did) you expect O?
@classicstar28 6/10/2014 ~ I’m so sorry to see that AF showed like you thought she would ((hugs)). That’s great your car payments got lowered, every little bit helps! And have you finally heard back about the pre-approval?
@sgio7484 6/10/14 ~ I’m sorry to hear about your dad. How is he doing this week?
@racegurl87 6/11/2014 ~ Do you think you ended up O’ing like you thought? Hopefully your timing was good. And it’s good that you and your husband are trying to take everything as relaxed as you can. Temping can really get overwhelming and control your life.
@Wino411 6/14/2014 ~ I’m sorry you’re struggling. I’m coming up on a year as well so I know how frustrating and depressing that can be ((hugs)). Don’t lose hope! Where are you in your cycle?
@mlt13 6/15/2014 ~ Welcome to the check-in, I’m so sorry for your loss and that things are taking so long to return to normal. Does your doctor think AF will return soon after hcg is 0?
@lanilanz11 6/20/14 ~ I’m glad your hcg is falling. How are the shots and the BCP? Any side effects?
@noonandj04 6/22/2014 ~ We missed you the last 2 weeks. I’m glad you are starting to feel better. When are you getting back on that horse?
@GLB30 6/26/2014 ~ We missed you the last 2 weeks. Did you figure out if you are doing the testing this month or next?
@angelaclevenger 6/28/2014 ~ Again, I’m sorry you’re struggling lately, but I’m glad to hear that your husband is being supportive. Do you have anything planned for your loss date next month or are you just trying to survive it?
If your name is missing from above, please let me know and post an update. Some are not included as we have not heard from you in many weeks.

Re: ~*~June Check-In (BFP Warning) ~*~
Hey JB! Thanks for the check-in. How're your stims going???
My appointment on Saturday went well and I didn't really have pain, just a lot of cramping. Good news is that my ute and one tube are clear and look good. He said since I have long cycles and don't ovulate until CD20-25 that we can try a medicated cycle, so I start Femara today...hopefully. Long story short, the fertility pharmacy didn't have all of the meds that my doc prescribed (HCG trigger, Crinone, etc) so they couldn't deliver my RXs until tomorrow. They tried to transfer the RX, but the new pharmacy had to wait until yesterday to call my doctor to get a new RX. They finally did that (after yet another call from me) and then they didn't have it in stock. It SHOULD be there today, and I hope that it is, for their sakes! I start taking it today and then I go back Monday to check the follies and go from there. He doesn't think I'm ovulating, or at least, ovulating mature eggs. I'm getting a temp shift every month, so it would appear that I am, but maybe I'm having weak ovulation. Since I only have one side with plumbing he wants a couple mature follies on that side to increase our chances. If Femara doesn't work then he will add in a low dose of Gonal-F. I'm hoping that we don't have to go that far, but we shall see.
QOTW - I don't watch Golden Globes, or any of those red carpet events. I'm not really all that interested in celebrities and don't really care who wins what.
ETA: Forgot to send congrats to @yurizaba! Wishing you a H&H 9 months on PGAL!

Congratulations @yurizaba!
@jbasore1123 Good morning – thanks for the check-in!
QOTW – I didn’t watch but I will get to look at the red carpet pics sometime today hopefully (didn’t get around to it yesterday).
@peggels24 6/4/2014 ~ I’m sorry your DH is a bit overhelmed with TTC. It can really take a toll. Have you been able to BD EOD the way you hoped? Any signs that you’ve O’d? FX for great timing!
DH seemed much more on board this weekend – I think he just thought that it would be super easy to get KU after the MC – meanwhile he didn’t realize that I was making a much more concerted effort when we were TTC prior to the pregnancy. We were only able to make it work on Saturday L but that’s ok. I’m not sure when I O’d but hopefully it was somewhere around Sunday or Monday J
Otherwise, not much going on – just waiting now for AF or a BFP – I’ll probably test on the 27th because AF should be here around the 26th. Unless my friend wants to go out for her bday on the 25th, then I’ll have to go ahead and test that day just to be safe.
@rmpar29 Good luck with the Femara.
@ashris13 ((hugs)) and good luck tomorrow. The TWW is the worst!
@jbasore1123 – how are you doing? Where are you at in your cycle/process?
I’m doing ok – thanks. This weekend was really hard. Lots of factors, but there were some big ugly cries. This process bites. Oh how I look forward to all of us getting BFPs soon. I did have a longer LP, I’m thankful for that and hoping that it’s a good sign. This cycle we are going to just keep trying… I’m on metformin and so I’ll stick with that. I am going to see my doc this week for a regular check-up and to talk about seeing an RE. I’m also in process of scheduling a check-up with my endocrinologist to check my thyroid levels as I think they might be off. So, we shall see.
QOTW – I watched a little of the globes, but not enough to make an impact J
@rmpar29 – Sorry you’re having a rough time with the prescriptions. Hoping that the Femara does the trick for you!
@ashris13 – the 2WW is hard. I’m hoping you get a + instead of what you are expecting. FX for you.
@peggels24 – I love that our DH’s are so positive and don’t realize half of the things we do J I’m hoping you had good timing.
@GLB30 – welcome back J You’re not the worst – promise. Good luck with the testing.
@peggels24 - We do so much behind the scenes...I don't think my DH has any idea how much I plan and test to try to get a BFP. I'm glad that he's feeling better about the process.
@GLB30 - I feel like I should know this, but what testing?
@MrsG80inTN - (((HUGS))) I hope that your appointment goes well and that you can get in to see an RE soon.

Have you gotten a second opinion? Maybe I'm spoiled with a fantastic RE, but I'm really questioning the lack of monitoring from this RE. Maybe it's time to try someone new?

I'm still so torn on weather to wait or not to TTC. There are a lot of things to figure out like how my dress would fit and flying on my honeymoon. I'm also concerned about having another loss before the wedding. I just don't know what to do. In the big picture waiting 5 months isn't very long but it also seems like forever...
Here is a pic of my dress and one of my mom and on my fiancé's fire truck

@wino411 – Hugs. I sent you a PM…
@racegurl87 – FX for good timing and a quick 2WW!
@waliany2015 – yay for a dress!!!!!! You look beautiful!!! Sounds like it was a successful even all around!!! I understand your concerns about TTC. I can’t remember how long you all have been trying or how old you are, but if you feel ok about waiting that is what I’d personally do b/c then you can relax while planning and truly enjoy your wedding and honeymoon. However, that's just me personally and you have to make a decision that is right for you and your fiance.
@racegurl87 at first he said to go ahead and he didn't mind if I was pregnant. Then when we changed the honeymoon to Paris he changed his mind. Now he says either way is fine. It's so hard to get a straight answer out of him!! I know he wants me to be able to sip wine with him but he also wants a baby. I think in leaning more towards waiting

I was disappointed when my temp dropped down, but then I was actually thankful when AF showed because spotting for that long was unusual for me. Sad, but thankful. She's gone now so I'm back to waiting for O. I expect it to be in about a week or so. In the meantime, I will try to relax and focus on all the interviews I got this week. First one is actually in a couple of hours! And of course on the house stuff.
We are getting closer to the pre-approval for the mortgage. We submitted an official application yesterday so we should hear back in a few days. The application is for a different kind of loan than we were originally looking at (the FHA loan). I think it would be better for us in the short term to do the FHA since we will refinance once we qualify for a regular loan. But, we don't know. Neither of us knows much about the financial world. DH is talking to one his coworkers who's background is in finance about what would really be better for us. I'm hoping we'll have it all finished by the beginning of February. Who knew this process would be this long? We started it in November.

@Waliany2015 – I know this is easier said than done, but don’t feel guilty for making a decision one way or the other. Both your wedding and your family expansion are your decisions to make with your fiancé. I think feeling sad for the baby you lost makes total sense to me in general b/c we all have those days and it will drive our decisions. I got married at 23 and I’m a big proponent of trying early (it’s taken us 4.5 years and no kids yet) and I wish we would have tried sooner. We did get married 3 months to the day from engagement (that sparked a few questions of course), but I was so excited to get married and found that no matter if you have 3 months or 3 yrs to plan a wedding you’ll have the people you want and the day will be perfect. My recommendation would be to talk through with your fiancé – what do you want to do for both the wedding and TTC and then make that decision together. Parents will always have their opinions (you know that clearly)… but if you stand together as a united front you’ll be good J You’ve got a lot of great things coming this year for you and I’m excited to see what happens for you. Sorry for the book…

@Waliany2015- yay for finding the dress!
As for me AF came last week so one step closer to TTC again. For my loss date next month I had planned on staying home just me and my husband and doing nothing. I don't want to go somewhere and see something and start an awful cry in the store. Instead, I have to make a valentines dinner for my church. My husband and I are youth leaders, and the kids do the serving for the dinner. My pastor scheduled it before talking with me and now it is going to be on valentines day on our EDD.
Sorry to post and run but I am sick and dizzy and plan to go to bed early. I'm sorry for not responding to everyone's post tonight.
I had my first monitoring appt on Saturday. It went well. The RN counted 14 follicles. She had a very difficult time seeing my left ovary (which caused some pain for me) and could barely see it when she did. There was a cluster of follicles that she couldn’t count. She suspected that there may be others as well. However, when I went back yesterday the RN counted 12 and there didn't appear to be any growth. WTF?! I don't know why I'm not responded as well as I did during IVF #1 (I had 17 follicles at my 2nd scan) since my doc increased my dosage this time. I have another scan tomorrow and retrieval should be Friday or Saturday.

Everyone welcome on my posts
@mlt13 6/15/2014 ~ Welcome to the check-in, I’m so sorry for
Thanks for hosting the check in @jbasore1123. My doc didn't seem to worry that as of two weeks ago AF hadn't returned. She said 4-6 weeks after bleeding has stopped - though it has been. I am in the process of looking for a new doc bc I don't think we meshed well.your loss and that things are taking so long to return to normal. Does your
doctor think AF will return soon after hcg is 0?
Part of me is wondering if the 4/5 day spotting I had two weeks ago could be considered a cycle, though a small one at that. I've recently started temping again in hopes to get a better picture at what is going on.
